Leeds United pre-season guide: Fixtures, travel plans and ticket information
Leeds United have faced disruption to their pre-season programme with news regarding their upcoming games in Germany.
However, fans will still have the opportunity to follow their team in three pre-season fixtures as they prepare for their return to the Premier League.
Here, MOT Leeds News reveals all the information you’ll need to know to follow Leeds in pre-season.
Leeds have three pre-season fixtures arranged
Leeds will take on Manchester United at the Strawberry Arena in Stockholm on 19 July. The kick-off is at 14:00 BST.
Tickets are priced at 525 SEK (around £40) and they’re available to buy online. Sections for Leeds United supporters are blocks 115 – 126.
Villarreal will visit Elland Road for a friendly on 2 August, with the match kicking off at 15:00 BST. Tickets are on general sale on the Leeds website or by calling 0371 334 1992. Tickets are priced at £25 for Adults, £20 for disabled adults, £15 for Concessions and £10 for Juniors.
Daniel Farke’s side will then take on the mighty AC Milan on 9 August at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. It will be the first time these two sides have met since the 2000-01 UEFA Champions League group stages. That game kicks off at 12:00 BST.
Ticket prices start at €35 for Adults and €20 for Under-16s, although booking fees will apply on top of that. Tickets can be purchased via Ticketmaster.
Leeds will hope that these glamour fixtures make up for Germany fiasco
Leeds shouldn’t be blamed for their pre-season fixtures in Germany being cancelled.
Opponents and venues were arranged earlier in 2025. Written assurances were secured from both the German FA and the club’s tour operator.
Yet, at the end of June, Leeds were informed that they wouldn’t be granted a permit to play matches in front of spectators. The club has insisted they did everything possible to find a workaround. However, they were unable to do so given the short notice of the announcement.
| Date | Opponent | Venue |
| 19 July | Manchester United | Strawberry Arena, Stockholm |
| 2 August | Villarreal | Elland Road, Leeds |
| 9 August | AC Milan | Aviva Stadium, Dublin |
Leeds’ remaining pre-season fixtures are against glamorous opponents and will give fans the opportunity to watch the team play overseas. The team has a significant following in Ireland, and the fixture against AC Milan looks like the highlight of the schedule.
Farke will aim to get his team up to speed in these games, ahead of Leeds’ first Premier League game against Everton on 18 August.
